Veteran Announcer and Pia's Take Command stack long enough to kill the NPC. Cless' Mass Corrossive and Backstab also stack.

It doesn't really matter if Pia dies or not, but it's preferable since she's not used after the first Take Command and you don't have to keep switching back to Cless.

This NPC loves to buff herself and then go crazy on you. She also likes to cheat with her Celerity buff at yellow HP, which gives her three actions that turn. It's best if you never give her a chance to actually act, which means killing her as fast as possible.

This fight can be reduced to an 8 turn with the use of damage Allies. Here I show you where to get them.

3:07 - Veteran Announcer, in the Arena. You need him to extend Pia's Take Command buff. And who doesn't want more attack?

3:40 - Nimble Woman, in Victors Hollow. She does about 5k with a full physical debuff.

4:05 - Blank-eyed Gladiator, also in Victors Hollow, past the Nimble Woman. He deals 3.5k without an elemental debuff. The animation is a bit long though.

4:45 - Striving Squire, in Flamesgrace. He deals about 6.5k with full physical debuff, but you'll notice he's much more difficult to recruit.

Ultimately, I skipped the damage Allies for this BT fight. It takes too much time and effort to save a single turn, when ideally the NPC will only deal damage once, and to Pia anyway.

Also, I forgot to show equipment. Both Lucetta and Cless have SP regeneration accessories. Armor shouldn't matter, but you want the best weapons you can get your hands on, preferably BT Bows. Lucetta and Cless also require A1, for the speed.
